What happens if I get a ticket in another state?

I got a ticket for an open container (not while driving) yesterday in a public park in Colorado. I gave my proper information, but the officer never took my drivers license info and the address I gave him is different from the one on my drivers license. What happens if I just don't pay? Anything?

Update:

So, despite not having my actual drivers license info or social security number, they can still issue a warrant for me? How will they know it's me? Same with putting it on my credit report.

And I have a Texas ID and address, but I'm moving to Chicago this month and won't even have a car. I probably won't be back to CO anytime soon.

    A Warrant will be issued to pick you up when and if ever found.

    It will be noted as a Criminal Charge on Your Credit report

    Colorado is part of the interstate compact. You'll have a warrant and your license will be suspended in your home state.
